Rules Adopted: 125-015-0200

Subject: HB 2207
(2013 regular session) requires officers and employees paid under the state payroll
system to receive payment of salary and wages through direct electronic deposit.
The bill also requires itemized statements of deductions to be provided electronically.
The bill provides some exceptions to these requirements, which must be set forth
in rule. This rule provides the procedures for those exceptions. It also addresses
the requirement for agencies to provide access to electronic statements for employees
who do not have regular access to computers in their workplace.

(5) An officer or employee may
receive payment of net salary and wages by paper check and a paper itemized statement
of payroll deductions. To do so the officer or employee shall contact the agency
in writing noting the desire to be exempt from electronic payment of wages and electronic
itemized statements.

(6) Exceptions to electronic
payment and electronic itemized statement may be deemed necessary when the agency
employing an officer or employee determines that electronic payment of net salary
and wages is:

(a) Not practicable or efficient.
The criteria agencies may use in deciding whether electronic payment is practicable
or efficient include, but are not limited to:

(A) An officer or employee is
newly hired and the routing and transfer information is in the process of being
verified;

(B) An officer or employee is
changing banks, causing the need for an alternate payment method because of the
verification process for routing and transfer information;

(C) An officer or employee has
been hired into an appointment for a period of 3 months or less;

(D) An officer or employee has
on-going leave without pay status, which could result in overpayments if electronic
payment is used;

(E) An officer or employee is
receiving the final payment of wages due to separation from State employment; and

(F) An officer or employee has
not established an account with a bank or financial institution or has not completed
the authorization for electronic payment of net salary and wages as described in
(2)(a) or (b) above.

(b) Where an officer or employee
is mandated by a judicial action to receive payment of net salary and wages by a
non-electronic method;

(c) Or, where an agency determines
that an alternate method of payment is needed because of security concerns arising
from protected-class employment or other sensitive situations identified by the
agency.
